[SOLVED] Text Box Help

[ChrisMayhew]

import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
public class TextMessagingForm extends Form {
  private TextField mAddressField, mTextField;
  private TextBox mMsg;

  public TextMessagingForm() {
    super("New message");
    mAddressField = new TextField("Mobile Number:", "", 20,
        TextField.PHONENUMBER);
    mMsg = new TextBox(null, "Message:", 120, 0x0);
    append(mAddressField);
    append(mMsg);

  }

  public String getAddress() {
    return mAddressField.getString();
  }

  public String getMessage() {
    return mMsg.getString();
  }
}

Hello

I am making a SMS application for my Uni course work and I am having some trouble with this part: "append(mMsg);" This part says: cannot find symbol???

Any ideas? Any help would be great.

Maybe I am doing the text box wrong or something I don't know, I found that code for a text box on a web site on google.

Thanks,
Chris

Edit:
Just to add this form is in a separate .java file than my main code and its just sort of imported into and displayed.

Also I am not sure if this is the right forum for this or not, if not then im sorry :)

Thanks for the reply, I am not trying to store text. This is trying to display the text box on the form so that the users can type in text and then it gets sent as an SMS.

Not sure if what your saying will do that. Not too good with Java :)

You can't append a TextBox to a Form. TextBox inherits from Displayable, not Item.

You can however Display#setCurrent the TextBox to display it.

Thanks guys, I decided that I would just use a text field to keep it simple rather than messing up the code that I had working.
